Lobster is a highly regarded seafood delicacy known for its sweet, tender meat and firm texture. It is often served steamed or boiled, with melted butter for dipping, and is popular in fine dining restaurants as well as in casual seafood settings.
Lobster has been consumed since ancient times, primarily along the coasts of the Atlantic Ocean. Initially viewed as a food for the poor, it became a luxury item in the 19th century, particularly in New England and is now considered a gourmet ingredient worldwide. Lobster fishing is a significant industry in coastal regions, especially in Maine, USA.
Lobster has a unique, slightly sweet flavor with a rich, buttery taste and a firm yet tender texture. Its meat is often described as succulent and pairs well with savory and creamy sauces.
